Yalova Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Hakkı Emektar took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Sümer Seyyid fell near the penalty area in the 4th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Yalova SK's protests and gave Sümer Seyyid a yellow card for diving instead. After 4 played minutes Yalova SK got a freekick which was hit by Sümer Seyyid. Karpuzlu's Vahap Yağmurdereli couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 5th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Yalova SK. After 9 minutes, Rahman Koçarslanoğlu mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Karpuzlu and the Yalova SK players grew even worse after the yellow card.

After some fancy dribbling in the 23rd minute, Gürsel Akçakan managed to get in a good position for a shot.

After 98 minutes Karpuzlu's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Talip Kuddusi who took care of the corner kick. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Karpuzlu's goalie and right to Gürsel Akçakan. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Karpuzlu's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
